The PO indicated it leaked a little hydro fluid and needed to add occasionally. Turns out it leaked a lot of fluid I would bet it was run with a low fluid level long and often causing the upper piston retainer ring to fail and scatter a couple piston caps jamming up the input shaft ! That leads me to ask where do I find a retainer ring and about 3 pistons with the brass caps ? Anyone have a parts pump ?

Looks to be a really nice tractor!! Congrats!!

They are correct.... you could fix that pump but as easy as used ones are to find I wouldn't fool with it..

I'd say buy that used pump from Tim and maybe do a set of seals and the cork gasket and be done with it!

Ive only been in a few over the years but they were only for seals and one was for a shaft... I was always careful not to mix any of the plates and pistons...

IF you could buy those parts they would be expensive and far more than a good used pump

send us some more pics of the tractor!
